Emotional attachment is a problem when you start to "fall in love". Falling in love with someone you swing with is a BAD idea, for several reasons:
1) It can lead to illicit sexual encounters, which is "cheating" on your spouse. If you’ve ever wondered where to draw the line between swinging and cheating, this is it.
2) It can lead to the breakup of two good relationships.
3) It can sour you or your "love" completely on the lifestyle, after all, if you marry a man who left his wife for his swinging partner, you "get" a man who would leave his wife for his swinging partner. If you like the lifestyle, don’t screw it up by falling in love.
I pondered the thought that Brenda is "in love" with a third party we don't know about yet.
This could explain her apparent coldness towards DW and her denial that she ever danced with him. To hear her discuss their meeting at Dads night of Feb. 1st is like someone describing the disspation of a smoke cloud - Westerfield sounded like a wallflower she had no interest in. To admit she was interested in him would endanger her secret relationship. Brenda is not happy with Damon, and is looking for another man - a man who excites her because he dominates her, (and who is probably rich). Is this man possibly an important figure in the underworld?
Sorry for more thinking outside of the box, but this case really troubles me.
